At first Mr Reynolds said £300 would put it up, and I believe it would have done so if there had not been some difficulty in petting water. At any rate you will not be able to put one up for less than £300 I should strongly advise you to secure a good supply of water before you put up your building ; wo have had a lot of trouble here through not having a good supply of water, as the creamery requires about 500 or 600 gallons per day. A* to thewaj' this factory was started : Mr Reynolds has a guarantee of the milk of 250 cows. The capital for erecting the building, providing! the machinery, etc., was borrowed through him. E.tc'i supplier owns as many shares as cows to milk, and one shilling for each cow i* deducted per month from his milk account, until (he borrowed capital is paid off. Mr Reynolds ha? rente 1 our factory For 'hree years, and th« rent he pays provides the interest on the borrowed capital. Further, seven milk suppliers hail to go security for the borrowed money. We got all t'loplnnt for the factory here, through Mr Reynolds."

Tt was evontnally decided on the suggestion of Mj- Collins, that the meeting be furtl.er adjourned until some definite arrangements have been made with Mr Reynolds.
